I won't be trying this anytime soon (if not never lol) with stones, neither should any of ya.

I have found it is kinda possible to do a Fig. 8 motion while doing a 180 degree turn behind you (left foot for righties should be ready to move). This is vastly difficult even with an empty sling (as you can tell how powerful a throw is going to be, these practice throws needless to say didn't fit the criteria). It kinda seems like you'd have to turn while doing Fig. 8 at an absolutely breakneck speed. I'm not sure a throw like this would ever be practical, but...maybe if a super slinger wanted to take out an enemy approaching behind them in style... Roll Eyes

You’ll have to post an example video. I can’t picture anything except a really awkward way to rack myself with a sling.

I do a pirouette throw similar to what you’re describing. Both me and the sling are spinning

I've seen side arm throws done like that, I suppose there's no reason a fig-8 can't be done that way as well. It would definitely take some practice to master though, more so than with a side arm throw I would think.

Interesting input, I post this because it seems difficult to lead/follow with a sling, as with other weapons...it's easier to do. But now it seems like in the hands of a skilled slinger, the same could be done.

I can't understand the description. If you make a video problem, maybe you will draw a diagram of such a pattern ?
